Pittsburgh Steelers President Art Rooney voiced his concern with the team's running game by dumping offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. As Kurt Warner can tell you, new hire Todd Haley is not afraid to spread teams out. Haley also is not afraid to shove the ball down your throat when the situation dictates, like when he with the Kansas City Chiefs.

Haley sent a blunt message to his bosses and players about his vision for "Steelers football" during the team's first padded practice over the weekend.

Aggressive Jim Harbaugh Quote of the Day Harbaugh made an unprompted, unscheduled trip to the podium Sunday to deliver a message about first-round receiver A.J. Jenkins.

"For those -- the scribes, pundits, so-called experts -- who have gone so far as to say that (he's) going to be a bust, should just stop. I recommend that because they're making themselves look more clueless than they already did," Harbaugh said.

Thank you, Jim Harbaugh, for not being another head coaching drone. Have no fear: You can't possibly be more sensitive to media criticism than Bill Walsh. It worked out pretty well for him.

The biggest story in the NFL right now â¦ The Cleveland Browns are about to rebuild. Again. Their potential sale is the biggest thing to happen in training camps so far. It's such a fascinating story, it couldn't be contained in Monday's training camp morning buzz. (So I already posted something this morning on Mike Holmgren's uncertain future. Check it out, won't you?)

3. Nine months since his last concussion, Detroit Lions running back Jahvid
Best still hasn't been fully cleared for contact. This is not good.

Hard out here for a
Plaxico
These are rough times for talented, enigmatic, aging wide receivers. Braylon
Edwards remains out of work despite a Miami Dolphins workout. Terrell Owens plays softball with my NFL.com buddy Jim Reineking.
Plaxico Burress can't buy himself a job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

On the same weekend Burress said "nothing would make him happier" than to
play in Philadelphia, Eagles No. 4 receiver Riley Cooper
broke his collarbone. Coach Andy Reid said the Eagles still won't sign a
veteran to replace Cooper.

I wouldn't blame Burress for being a little bitter. His last, best years as
a pro evaporated in jail.

Position
Battling
1. The Doug Martin vs. LeGarrette Blount battle in Tampa might be over before it started. Martin,
the shifty Boise State rookie, ran with the first-team offense right away. All reports from Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat reporters
indicate he'll stay there.

3. I've said all summer the starting Dolphins wide receiver spots were wide
open. Coach Joe Philbin supported that claim by lining up Chad Johnson and
Legedu Naanee with the first team early in training camp. Johnson was signed
barely more than a month ago, back when he was an Ochocinco. Naanee is a career
special teamer. Philbin will likely rotate players till someone sticks, just
like at quarterback.

4. Packers cornerback Sam Shields, so crucial to the team's Super Bowl run,
could slide right off the Green Bay roster if he doesn't turn things around
after a rough start to camp.

5. Stevan Ridley looks like the early favorite to be the New England
Patriots' primary running back. (This assumes New England has a primary running
back, which probably is silly.)

Unlucky Team of the
Weekend
The Bucs can't afford injuries in their already-thin secondary. That's why the
broken bone in No. 3 corner E.J. Biggers' foot matters. Wide receiver Arrelious
Benn also is expected to miss a month with a sprained MCL. Tampa's shaky depth
took a hit early in camp.

What you missed while pretending to
have a life
Kyle Boller retired from football one day after signing with the San Diego
Chargers. This entire sequence makes me sad. â¦ Baltimore Ravens tackle Bryant
McKinnie returned to the Ravens after a mysterious injury suffered at home --
he later said he fell and hurt his back. That's usually a bad omen. â¦ Giants
tackle David Diehl says he will not be suspended. â¦ Reports in San Diego
suggest 2009 first-round draft pick Larry English might not make the team.
That's one of A.J. Smith's biggest misses.

On the agenda
Two first-round draft picks remain unsigned: Jacksonville Jaguars receiver
Justin Blackmon and Tennessee Titans receiver Kendall Wright. They are setting
back the "wide receivers aren't really divas" movement by at least a few days.
